Sentinel Laboratories Ltd accreditation as a Living Wage Employer

Our Commitment to Fair Wages and Staff Well-being

 As a family-run PPE company with a proud history spanning 35 years, we've always believed that the core of our success lies not just in the products we create but in the people who make everything possible. Today, we are thrilled to share a significant milestone that underscores this belief: our accreditation by the Living Wage Foundation.

This accreditation is more than just a logo to display on paperwork; it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every member of our team is not only fairly compensated but also valued and respected. In an industry as crucial as personal protective equipment, where the dedication and precision of our staff directly impact the safety and well-being of countless individuals, recognising the hard work and contribution of our employees is paramount.

The Living Wage Foundation is an organization that advocates for pay based on the cost of living, rather than the government minimum. Being accredited means that we voluntarily take a stand to ensure our staff earns a wage that meets the everyday needs of living, reflecting our deep respect for their hard work and dedication.

We understand that happy staff give so much more to the organisation. They bring in their best selves, innovate, care for the quality of their work, and contribute to a positive and productive work environment. This, in turn, leads to better products, satisfied customers, and a stronger reputation for our company. It's a virtuous cycle that begins with how we treat our employees.

The decision to pursue Living Wage Foundation accreditation was driven by our core values as a family-run business. We've always seen our employees as an extension of our family, deserving of respect, support, and fairness. It's about creating a workplace that not only aims for excellence in the market but also in the lives of the people who work here.

 As we move forward, we do so with the confidence that our approach to business is one that builds not just a more successful company, but a better community. Our accreditation is a step towards a future where businesses recognise the indispensable value of their staff and act as stewards of fair and respectful practices.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our employees, whose hard work and dedication have been the cornerstone of our success. This accreditation is as much theirs as it is ours. Together, we look forward to continuing to supply high-quality PPE products while upholding the values that have guided us for over three decades.

To our customers and partners, thank you for your continued trust and support. This achievement reflects our commitment to not only provide the best products but to do so through ethical and sustainable business practices. We believe that by investing in our staff, we are investing in the quality and reliability that you have come to expect from us.

Here's to many more years of making a difference, not only in the world of PPE but in the lives of the people who make our work possible.
